Freely available in Chiang Rai. Big C was running a Thai whisky promotion, judging by the eye candy.

It was freely available out here in rural Khampaeng Phet yesterday. Today is a different day.

I went to the bank this afternoon and popped into my favourite grog shop. My friend told me that today they had to shut from 10 to 20 April. I called my wife and gave the phone to my friend and went to the car to get shopping bags. There was one left, wife had been shopping.

 

Went back and picked up 4 x 1 litre of Blend 285, 6 x 750 Hong Thong for me and 2 packs of soda. They hid the whisky in a cardboard box and off I went.

 

I wouldn't have minded so much but KPP province hasn't had any Covid-15 cases yet.

 

The government has to do something to something to save face and bring happiness and reconciliation to the Thai people and this is the best that they can come up with?

I’ll ship you some government issued lube. 

No need. There are enough DHs around here.

And I am sure you have a cupboard full for your own use.

Thailand is no different to any other country in that in America the governors of each state can set the laws for that state the same is in Australia where the premier of each state can set the laws for that state and in Western Australia the premier of the state has brought in alcohol restrictions which limit the amount of take home alcohol that you can buy each day. The governors of the Thai provinces have the legal right to set what ever law they want in their province and anybody who breaches those laws and gets caught have no right to complain.

Good grief to you too:

 

I asked you a logical question, yet you continue to laugh at everything.

 

I asked you why should the sale of alcohol continue when the sale of all other non-essential items has been banned?

 

For example, my wife wanted to buy some skin care products yesterday from Face Shop, but the store was closed, but she is not in an uproar over it.

 

Perhaps I should ask the question in a way that you may understand:

 

Why is alcohol essential? Give me one good reason why it should be sold? Don't repeat your last stupid answer about the risk of people losing money because they can't sell it, because all shops have closed.

       Alcohol is not essential , but I don't think it should be banned . It's important to have a way to relax and get your mind off all the Covid related problems . My way is to have a few beers once or twice a week , while watching football , cricket or rugby on the TV . Now that sport is cancelled , I don't have a way of taking my mind off the problems . That means I'm getting more stressed and it's starting have an adverse effect on people around me . In the past when there have been alcohol bans  most people have been able to get it one way or another ,  so shouldn't be a problem .

Well I am stocked up 1000 bottles of vodka stored up. Got a great deal when a brewer was going out of business 2usd per bottle.  lol

 

And buy the way where I'm at most things are open, like hardware, phone, tire shops etc. only thing I have noticed closed is restaurants and the weekly market shut down.

I'm not producing the list. The Thai government is. I'm just asking why alcohol should be exempted from the list. 

Because if responsible people want to drink alcohol at home, where they should be during these times, they should be allowed to buy alcohol It's as simple as that.

Puyai here in Mueang Nakhon Sawan just announced alcohol ban 12-22 April

Yes, annoy them even more.....

Most provinces have joined this inane bandwagon, which is sheer, nonsensical panic of an imagined upcoming zombie apocalypse. Despite falling numbers. It seems that a percent of the population seems to thrive on panic. Take a deep breath. The world is NOT coming to an end.
